_ NO, 73, VOL. LXXXII. 28th, Held in Snow Shoe. ™ The Centre County Sabbath School Associationheld its Fortieth Annual Con- vention in the Presbyterian church, of Philipsburg. beginning at 7:30 p. m,, May 27, 1909. with a song service under direction of Mrs. L. W. Nuttall. Rev, A. M. Schmidt, D. D., read the scripture and offered prayer. Rev. J. Allison Platts, Ph. D., addressed the conven- tion on the subject, “ The efficient teacher.” The Sabbath school move- ment is the biggest thing on earth. Be- cause of its relation to children and youth its possibilities for influencing with the gospel the moral welfare of the future can hardly be ov erestimated, and the probable influence of the United States on the future of the world aug- ments the need that our civilization be of the best. The teacher is the great factor in the Sabbath school, hence the need that she be efficient. She must seek not only to bring her pupils to Christ but to build them up in Chnst. She must have a clear perception of her mission, must know the fundamentals | of religion as presented in the Bible, human nature, and the best methods of instruction. Hence the importance of teacher training classes. (he teacher is a former of character which is eternal. The choir sang an anthem and an of- fering amounting to $5.73 was taken. Mrs. C. E. Knapp. a junior grade specialist from Chicago, spoke on Co- operation of Parent and Primary Teach- er.” The teacher by explaining the needs to parents may be able to se as gnod an equipment for the Sabbath school as is found in the public ol. A conference between parent and teach- er often gives » new vision the im- portance of the work and prevents work- ing at cross purposes. Co-operation is secured by calling n the parents, by special definite invitations, also by mothers’ meetings held during the week. The small rural schools afford great op- portunities ; but their realization de- mands effort. After enrollment convention closed with prayer and bene- diction by Rev. R. P. Miller. : The convention opened with a quiet half bour conducted by Rev. A. M. Schmidt, D. D. The following com- mittees were appointed by the president: Nominations : Rev. F. W. Barry, Rev. W. G.

Reports from, and districts resulted in president and secretary to appe mittees on organization ig all U : organized districts. L. W. Nuttall spoke on * County Association Finances," | asserting that there can be no better use of money than giving it for Sabbath | school work and urging prompt pay-| ment of all requirements. : Treasurer Luckenbach made his re-| port which was followed by a general | discussion on raising money for Sabbath | school purposes. Rev. Fred W. Barry, | of Bellefonte, introduced the subject, | “ The Organized Bible Class : What Is] It ? Is it Needed in Our County | Forward movement is needed in the] Sabbath school as elsewhere. The pur- pose of this one is to get hold of those not in the school, to give a sense of per- sonal responsibility for the work, to pro- mote fellowship and heipfulness and the spirit of evangelism. Conditions in our schools show the need of it in Centre county. . Under the subject. * Elementary Grade Work,” Mrs. Knapp said : Grad- ing economizes the child's valuable time, helps to hold the child, enables the teacher to give definite work. Encour- ages pupils to bring their Bibles and teach how to use them. The training of teachers begins in the junior grade. The heroie element in the Bible appeals to those in this grade, in which also often develops a special love for Christ that should be handled very carefully. Give the juniors something to do and do not fear their running the school. W. D. Reel, State Field W orker, Philadelphia, had for his subject, ** Get- ting the Pupil to Work.” Twelveisa eritical age not always understood. Sympathy is needed. Boys need to feel that the work is worthy of them. Busy pupils are interested pupils. Work guards sgainst a religious reaction not unusual among intermediates. Bene- diction by Rev. Barry. Afterncon session opened at two o'clock with devotional services by Rev. W. G. Fulton. Dr. Schmidt drew a picture of two schools, one orderly, prompt, good ventilation, genial at- mosphere ; short prayers, preparation, enthusiasm ; love the controlling force. In the other just opposite conditions pre- | vail. Children prefer the former. rs, L W. Nuttall gave a number of interests ing and valuable echoes from the Sha- mokin State Convention. After singing, Mrs. Knapp urged pri- teachers to remember that they rev | in all that they do, that they should not waste time, that primary pupils love to sing the same songs again and again that brief and frequent pray- ers are important, that fundamentals should be taught, that reviews and les. son connections should not be neglected, that day school methods apply in the Sabbath school, and that the great thin is to help the children know God, an that wisdom is promised.

Murray, the enterprising drug- glat, rather than awsit the ordinary methods of introduction, urged the Dr. Howard Company to secure a quick aale for their celebrated specific for the cure of constipation and dys. pepsia by offering the regular 50¢ bottle at half-price. . The wonderful success of this plan Was a great surprise even to Mr. Mur. ray and today there are scores of people here in Centre Hall who are using and praising this remarkable remedy, So much talk bas been caused by this offer, and so many vew friends have been made for the speegific that the Dr. Howard Company have authorized druggist Murray to con. tinue this special half-price sale for a limited time longer, In adaition to selling a 50¢ bottle of Dr. Howard's specific for 25¢ Mr, Murray has so much faith in the remedy that he will refund the money to any one whom it does not cure, When your head aches, your stom. ach does not digest food easily and naturally, when there is constipation, specks before the eyes, tired feeling, giddiness, bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, heart burn, sour stom- ach, roaring or ringing in the ears, melancholy and liver troubles, Dr, Howard's specific will cure you, If it does not, it will not cost you a cent.
